On Monday at 4 p.m. EST, the deadline for newly signed unrestricted free agents to count toward the compensatory formula expired. This was a significant deadline overall. In short, this means the players who will count in the compensatory formula for 2022 are now locked in. From this point and forward, any unrestricted free agent player signed by a team will no longer factor into the equation. With this deadline passed, we can take a closer look at what the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to receive in the way of compensatory draft picks for 2022.
As things stand right now, the Steelers are projected to receive two compensatory draft picks in 2022, according to Nick Korte of Over the Cap.
